VANCOUVER — Staff at a bird rehabilitation centre in Kamloops, B.C., typically don’t know where their rescued animals originally came from, but a recently discovered golden eagle was able to reveal just that. The young golden eagle was found weak and starving just before the new year on the shore of the Thompson River.
